Impressive debuts
Bucks athletes who are taking advantage of the new UK Athletics Super Clubs scheme, made impressive debuts for Windsor, Slough and Eton AC.
The scheme will see a partnership of clubs covering a large catchment area, allowing athletes to gain from the best coaching and facilities that can be provided. WS&E has been designated as one of the clubs and will pull in promising youngsters from High Wycombe and the surrounding area.
English Schools medal winner Nicole McDermott was once again in flying form, notching 8.2 secs in the Under-17s 60 metres to book herself a place in the National Championships.
Samantha Aikenhead (U17) clocked a winning 10.0 secs in the hurdles, exactly the mark required for a place at the NIA, Birmingham.
Jess Bartlett (U15) made certain there were no doubts about her 60m hurdles qualification as she ran 11.1 secs in her first heat and then 11.0 secs in the second round. This was a huge seven tenths of a second inside the qualifying mark.
Larry Joseph and Mark Gillett both achieved the qualifying standard for the AAAs Championships for the 60m flat, as did Sarah Horley in her U15s race.
